W³ Cubed™

WHO? WHAT? WHEN?

THE COMPLETE STARTUP ACTION PLAN WORKBOOK — FREE

The W³ Cubed™ Startup Action Plan Workbook — From Point A to Ready for Prime Time™ is a complete, continually improving, hands-on startup execution reference. The current 370+ page edition is the complete Workbook now delivered through our website signup forms: the free edition gives you the full methodology, 216 Action Items, 52 Milestones and nine coordinated Action Plans.

It helps founders identify WHO owns each action, WHAT result must be produced, and WHEN the work belongs in the sequence. It connects finance, customers, product, staffing, marketing, operations, fundraising and decisions that affect one another. This is practical help for both you as an entrepreneur and the company you are building.

Do not read it cover to cover. Use the Table of Contents and stage finder to go directly to the most urgent decision facing your company today. A mathematically perfect spreadsheet can still hide a fatal assumption; the Workbook shows how to test the assumption, find the evidence, and trace the financial and operating consequences before spending more.

The entire 370+ page Workbook is FREE — not a trial, teaser or reduced edition. There is no paid W³ Cubed™ Pro Workbook, no consulting requirement, and no credit card required for the free Workbook.

What You Actually Get — FREE

The W³ Cubed™ Startup Action Plan Workbook gives you a working reference rather than a few pages of startup theory. The 370+ page edition now being delivered through every Workbook signup form provides detailed, actionable guidance, real-world examples, decision worksheets, checklists, investor-readiness tests and structured execution tools. It is designed to create many pivotal moments of discovery for you and your startup—not just give you a document to read.

216 Action ItemsA global-priority execution sequence that names WHAT must be done, WHO owns it, WHEN it belongs in the plan, which other actions depend on it and what proof establishes completion.

52 MilestonesMeasurable outcomes with Definitions of Done and evidence: know whether a milestone has actually been earned, not merely attempted.

9 Action Plans + Gantt ChartsNine detailed, coordinated Action Plans with timelines and Gantt charts connecting founder readiness, customers, economics, product, staffing, finances, operations, marketing and fundraising. The plan is equally useful for a new business initiative within an existing company.

4 Go/No-Go GatesFour evidence-based checkpoints to decide whether to proceed, change course, pause or stop before an unsupported assumption consumes your cash and time.

WHO Chart™ MethodologyBuild weighted, evidence-based hiring and mentor scorecards to define the expertise a job truly requires, compare candidates with a consistent yardstick and avoid the often enormous cost of a wrong key hire.

Driving-Assumption Stress TestsChallenge the inputs that drive your cash, hiring, launch and growth plans. Identify who selected each assumption, their relevant experience, what independent evidence supports it and what happens if it is wrong.

27 Field Notes + Founder ToolsDetailed real-world observations, overlooked costs, checklists, role guidance, Before You Move On checks, decision logs, templates and actionable founder tools.

Compound Knowledge™Practical lessons and connections drawn from decades of operating companies and advising founders; spot the second- and third-order consequences of decisions that may appear isolated.

Twelve More Ways This Free Workbook Can Change Your Next Decision

Beyond its five cover payoffs, the updated Workbook identifies a dozen less-obvious advantages. Each is designed to trigger a practical insight and a specific next action—not just another interesting idea.

1. Avoid seven critical fundraising blunders. Audit what investors will challenge before you squander a promising prospect on an untested pitch or discover that you raised the wrong amount.

2. Understand the securities-law traps early. Learn which investor outreach and compensation questions require qualified counsel before you begin, not after you have made an expensive commitment.

3. Plan the capital raise in the right sequence. Compare financing alternatives, budget the actual cost and duration of raising capital, and build a realistic investor-readiness plan.

4. Find the costs your forecast forgot. Examine your deepest cumulative cash deficit, timing slippages, growth capacity, launch delays and overlooked cash requirements—before a shortfall becomes a crisis.

5. Make a useful decision in ten minutes. The Entry Card converts a daunting 216-item plan into one immediate priority, one accountable person, one piece of evidence and a date.

6. Find the right starting point in an existing business. The stage finder helps determine the last Milestone actually earned so you resume from evidence—not from your calendar or optimism.

7. Build an initial financial model in one sitting. Turn assumptions into a first view of burn, runway, break-even and capital need, with the inputs visible for independent scrutiny.

8. Stop paying twice for cheap talent. Evaluate key employees, contractors and advisers against the capabilities your company needs now and will need as it grows.

9. Make AI challenge you instead of flattering you. Recognize the AI sycophancy trap; ask for counterarguments, missing evidence and downside scenarios rather than accepting polished but unsupported conclusions.

10. Make consequential decisions auditable. Use Gate Decision Records, decision logs, dissent records and escalation tools so a partner, investor or manager can understand why you proceeded—or stopped.

11. Protect your household as well as your company. Put personal financial runway beside business runway so that startup spending does not quietly compromise your family’s security.

12. Use the methodology beyond a new startup. Apply the same execution discipline to a new product, division, location, market or major initiative inside an established business.

The pivotal question is not “Does my plan look impressive?” It is “Which decision could destroy this company if the assumption behind it is wrong—and what can I prove before committing the money?”

My objective is to share what historically required thousands of dollars in one-on-one consulting, while reserving human consulting for decisions that truly justify it.

Explore the full-width Table of Contents on the homepage and choose the chapter, Action Item, checklist or decision record that addresses your most urgent question. The same complete current Workbook is delivered free through the website signup forms.

A LIMITED OPTION FOR INDEPENDENT EXECUTIVE JUDGMENT

Founder Slots — Up to 100 Entrepreneurs

As I transition toward retirement from consulting, I may accept Founder Slots for up to a maximum of 100 entrepreneurs across all service levels. This is a ceiling, not a promise to accept 100. I may close the opportunity much earlier, perhaps after 30–40 founders or fewer, depending on my availability and publishing commitments.

A Founder Slot counts an accepted entrepreneur, not a ten-hour retainer block. Accepted founders can request additional blocks later, subject to separate approval, agreement and availability; additional blocks do not create additional Founder Slots.

The purpose is to examine decisions and mission-critical driving assumptions that can determine the fate of a startup. A financial model may be 100% correct mathematically and still lead to catastrophic decisions if its revenue ramp, hiring plan, launch date, market assumptions or cash needs are unrealistic.

Founder Slot acceptance and a signed Statement of Work are required before payment and work. Please confirm availability before paying. Neither the free Workbook nor Lite reservations require consulting.

Prices and terms can change at any time without notice.

SEPARATE OPTIONAL COMPANION — NOT YET RELEASED

AI Arsenal™ Lite

W³ Cubed™ tells you what needs to be accomplished. AI Arsenal™ Lite is being built to help you produce the work. The planned complete Lite package contains 50 guided AI founder workflows, each intended to create a useful, editable output instead of merely another AI conversation.

Each module is being developed and certified using Show → Explain → Interview → Deliver: inspect fictional test inputs and an actual sample work product, understand how the output was created, answer structured questions about your company and develop a personalized deliverable. Important estimates and UNKNOWN assumptions are identified for validation, not mistaken for facts.

Examples of planned Lite work products:

First-pass Business Plan and investor Executive Summary
Integrated financial models, projections and schedules
Startup costs, cash burn, runway and Maximum Cash Hole
Revenue staircase, sales requirements and lead-funnel math
Pricing, willingness-to-pay, CAC and gross-margin analyses
Launch-delay, growth-capacity and scenario stress tests
Go-to-market, sales-process and first-90-days plans
Hiring, contracting and outsourcing decisions
WHO Chart™ expansion and candidate tools under certification
Investor pitch, due diligence and weekly KPI preparation
Startup-wide red-team review of unsupported assumptions

AI Arsenal™ Professional is a separate planned advanced product, including a configurable Excel founder-control and Action Plan system. Neither Lite nor Professional is required to receive the free W³ Cubed™ Workbook, and neither is being represented as an immediately downloadable finished product.

MY PRIMARY SEMI-RETIREMENT FOCUS

Five Year Life™ Publishing

After more than 4½ decades of starting companies, raising capital, operating businesses and working with startup CEOs, my primary focus today is no longer building another consulting practice.

My focus is Good-Man LLC and the Five Year Life™ publishing program — preserving as much of the Compound Knowledge™ I have accumulated as possible while I still have the time and energy to do it.

I have already completed three books and have two additional books roughly 80% complete. My hope is to finish those and write several more while I still can.

That shift is also one reason W³ Cubed™ exists. I cannot personally mentor every founder who may benefit from the lessons I accumulated, but I can capture those lessons in books, methodologies, tools and AI-assisted systems that can continue helping people without requiring my direct involvement.

Five Year Life™ is therefore not a side project attached to my old consulting business. It is a major part of what I have chosen to spend this stage of my life doing.

FEATURED BOOK BY ROBERT LEE GOODMAN

Your Last Paycheck™

Navigating Job Loss and Layoffs in the Age of AI

Your Last Paycheck — Navigating Job Loss and Layoffs in the Age of AI — Robert Lee Goodman, MBA

First, Financial Triage After the Layoff.

Second, Mapping Your New Personalized Career Path in the Age of AI.

Job loss is never just a financial event. It can destabilize your income, savings, family, confidence and sense of professional identity, often at the very moment when you need to make some of the most consequential decisions of your life. Your Last Paycheck™ was written to help readers confront those realities with practical guidance rather than panic, while recognizing that artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the employment opportunities and career paths available to them.

Part One — Financial Triage After Job Loss

The financial-stabilization and career-repositioning layer of the Five Year Life™ system begins with the immediate challenges of losing a paycheck. The first half helps readers stabilize money, benefits, housing, credit and the urgent priorities that cannot wait while the job search unfolds.

Readers are guided through the difficult decisions surrounding financial runway, household spending, unemployment benefits, emergency resources, debt pressures, professional relationships and the practical steps needed to protect what matters most. The objective is to establish a more stable foundation before a temporary income disruption becomes a much larger personal and financial crisis.

Part Two — Your Career Path in the Age of AI

The second half maps a personalized career path for the Age of AI — including 100 emerging AI-related job and career titles spanning immediate-income opportunities through senior executive positions. The focus is not merely on finding another version of the job you just lost, but on understanding how your existing experience can become the foundation for work that may be more resilient and valuable as technology changes the labor market.

Readers explore AI literacy, career repositioning, transferable capabilities, new professional roles, and ways to evaluate training opportunities without wasting scarce time or money. The goal is to help you identify where your existing knowledge and experience intersect with emerging opportunities, then build a realistic path forward.

Who Should Read Your Last Paycheck™?

This book is for people who have recently lost a job, fear that a layoff may be coming, or recognize that their profession is changing beneath their feet. It is also intended for spouses and families affected by employment disruption, career counselors, outplacement professionals and corporate leaders who want to help people make better decisions during difficult transitions.

You are not starting over.
You are leveling up.

Why Am I Giving the Complete Workbook Away?

I am Robert Lee Goodman, MBA, CEO and Chief ImpleMentor™ of CEO RESOURCE LLC. More than four and a half decades of founding, financing and running businesses have included 49 companies and partnerships, 44 outside-capital raises, approximately $120.1 million in today’s dollars and 1,342 investors, plus experience mentoring thousands of founders and CEOs.

What matters most now is the Compound Knowledge™ accumulated along the way: patterns, practical experience, mistakes and lessons that become more useful when connected across many companies and industries. I am shifting from direct consulting toward the Five Year Life™ publishing program and want to preserve that knowledge rather than leave it in consulting files.

The entire W³ Cubed™ Startup Action Plan Workbook is my FREE parting gift to the startup community.

If it helps a founder question one dangerous assumption, avoid one premature hire or uncover one overlooked cash requirement, the gift has served its purpose. There is no consulting purchase requirement.
